Westside High School Theater Presents:
Steel Magnolias, by Robert Harling
The action takes place in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. Helped by her assistant, Annelle, (who is not sure if she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s curmudgeon, Ouiser; an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby, is about to marry a “good ole boy.” The show, based on a true story, is filled with lots of laughs, but when Shelby ( who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life, the ladies realize how their own mortality affects the others. Strength, love, and friendship give the play and its characters the special quality to make this show truly touching and funny in good times and in bad.
The Westside Elementary GT Class had a fun filled day yesterday. They took a field trip that started at the nature center where the students watched a movie about Crowley’s Ridge, learned about Arkansas owls and explored the center inside and out. They then went to the park for lunch and play. The group ended the day with a tour of KAIT. While there, they saw the latest technology in television programming, met Ryan Vaughn who explained about how a green screen works and practiced anchoring on camera. It was a day filled with fun and learning!
Westside Elementary students have been creative in bringing their favorite books to life through pumpkins! Students have been decorating the pumpkins to replicate that main character of their chosen book. On top of that, each student is writing a brief summary about the book!
The yearly flu shot clinic for Westside Schools is scheduled for WMS & WHS on Wednesday, November 2nd and WES on Thursday, November 3rd. Parent consent forms are being sent home this week and will need to be returned by Friday, October 28th.
Westside Elementary School had a great Book Fair this week. The students enjoyed shopping for new books and many other items.
